it's a whole world of centaurs (the half-horsed) suddenly meeting with the human world (the two-legged), with practical and cultural consequences. so far so good. it's also a bit curiously set in a pre-WW1 pocket within Germany. is there a bit of a discrimination subtext? maybe (but shouldn't i know?). but it's surprisingly sexist too - okay, stallions and mares, i get that, but still...). and slightly creepy if you take it politcal. i want to like it, especially because female creators are still much rarer in comics than they ought to be, and it's indie besides. it does have a sprightly faux-naive narrative. but on the whole it makes me a bit uneasy in the corners.… (altro)
